    x86/mm: ensure L2 is always freed if empty
    
    The current logic in modify_xen_mappings() allows for fully empty L2 tables 
to
    not be freed and unhooked from the parent L3 if the last L2 slot is not
    populated.
    
    Ensure that even when an L2 slot is empty the logic to check whether the 
whole
    L2 can be removed is not skipped.
    
    Fixes: 4376c05c3113 ('x86-64: use 1GB pages in 1:1 mapping if available')
